@@chefchasee.1353 There’s basically only one big bill then about 5-6 turns then it’s over. The ride is pretty short actually, the ride also kind of hurts your dead so be prepared- The big hill is way more intense than diamondback. Orion overall is pretty good ;)
Not for me; those restraints hug my legs so tight they almost cut off the circulation to my feet. I do agree tho; I LOVE that moment of airtime right before the helix 😁😁😁
This is an absolute behemoth of a ride at night. The lights are absolute stunning as well. Kings Island seriously knows what theyre doing. I can’t wait for the next coaster
Next time you're there get a night ride on diamondback. There's no lights at all. You can't see anything, you just feel it. If you can get one of the last rides with fireworks going off it's unreal. Best night ride I ever had.
Rode this 26 times in 5 days, wish I could've ridden it more... Orion cured my fear of big coasters and will have a special place in my heart forever ☆
@@Unkown6678 Timber Hawk is 75 feet high with a top speed of 50 mph. Orion is 287 feet high but goes below ground a little bit for a 300 foot drop with a top speed 91 mph and an angle of 85 degrees. Why even try to compare the two? Your opinion is wrong...
@@spider0804 have you been on the timberhawk in my state? I think ik what I’m talking about when I hear the same shit and story for it all the time when I hit up wild waves but go ahead and say everybody is wrong
Just rode this today for the first time with my 11 yo daughter! We loved it!! We actually rode it twice because we had early access to the park and it wasn’t crowded at all (probably due in part to the high 90 degree temps) and we walked on to all the big coasters. An amazing day!
This coaster is 100% underrated, it's the only giga I've rode that consecutively made me grey out all three rides. Also, lost my phone on the ride, KI called me the next morning to say they found it and somehow it didn't have a scratch! Legit miracle with how wild this ride is!
My Daughter and I were up there last May, from Florida, we had a blast, unfortunately we didn’t ride Orion or Diamondback. If she passes third grade, we’re coming back up there and riding both of them. We did ride Banshee, Mystic Timbers, the Bat, and Racer. I rode the Beast. I wish we lived closer to your park, we’d be there every weekend.
Probably the smoothest and most enjoyable coaster out there. Been going to this park for a while and this ride was the first one I ever bought merch for. Absolutely in love with this ride!
Just rode this last Saturday (before the rain hit) and this is now my favorite ride in the park. I kept thinking the drop would be the worst part of it but it ended up being my favorite part of it. I honestly cannot find anything negative about it other than Orion leaving me wanting to ride it over and over again. Cannot wait to get back to KI later this summer to spend the day at Soak City and finish the day on Orion!
This has to be my favorite coaster yet! Not to mention the amazing safety measures. I can tell that there is a lot of work put into these coasters to insure a fun time. Keep up the amazing work! :)
Trust me, your first time after going on this roller coaster you feel like the king of the world. It truely feels like you are flying. It’s incredible and nobody should be nervous to ride it because it is pure enjoyment, so smooth. It feels like you are cutting through the air!
I rode this in the back and the floater over the first hill caught me off guard. I love this ride so much! Its everything i hoped for and more as an enthusiast
Thank god! A lot of people have trashed this thing. I absolutely love it! Its amazing, (well in my opinion it is) to me its got a good mix of Positive, negative, and lateral Gs blended together very well with a huge size and great pacing! Plus the lighting kicks ass on it and its smooth as glass! Personally, its my number one!!! I love Orion!!
@@pizzafroth1521 Yeah I feel like I saw people trashing this thing before it even opened. Do I wish it was taller or as tall as fury 325? Sure, but I also enjoy what we got. It’s fast as hell and that first drop is still very intense.
i’m SO excited to come back to ki this summer an ride this baby all day! hands down best rollercoaster i’ve ridden at ki! it’s so smooth and the drop is amazing
I love kings island been going there since I was a Lil boy and will continue to go back for the rest of my life that this awesome place is nostalgia for me so many great memories with my friends and family In my life time this place better never close
I rode this for the first time a few days ago, I blacked out twice LOL. I was still conscious but my vision went out, probably something to do with the force or some science stuff
Yeah, when you experience a lot of positive g forces, the blood rushes to your feet with little remaining in your head. The lack of blood in your eyes causes you to lose vision temporarily.
Kings Island is so much fun, I took my 3 kids yesterday for my sons birthday and we had a blast Orion was their favorite coaster. Thanks for showing us a good time all the way from Dayton Ohio ❤️❤️
I just rode Orion today and All I have to say is WOW. It was very smooth and very fun throughout the entire ride. This is easily my second favorite rollercoaster at Kings Island behind Banshee. I would recommend Orion to everyone going to Kings Island. Thanks to the Kings Island team for such an amazing ride I will never forget!
This is an absolute BEAST of a ride (not unlike another certain Kings Island coaster) and I loved EVERY SECOND of it! That first drop absolutely takes your breath away and everything afterwards is just fantastic! Got to ride this last week, would totally ride it again!
I went to Kings Local School District for 5 years of my childhood, and I would go to Kings Island every week in the summer. It was my favorite activity to do with friends when I went to Kings Junior High! My family moved away in 2013 but they are moving back this year, which means when I visit them this summer I will get to go to KI again for the first time in 9 years. It has changed so much since I lived there and I am so beyond excited to go back and ride the classics I remember and also the new rides like Orion. Orion is definitely the first on my list 😍
these videos really help me feel better before riding a coaster so i can know what to expect. im so glad theyre available so i can prepare myself and feel less scared!
if you’re even considering to ride Orion at Kings Island DO IT!! you have my full word that the ride is absolutely insane and outstanding, me and a friend rode it 6 times when we went
@@AbigailSonner i’m actually going back to kings island tomorrow not joking! i’m 16, but i have a friend whose sister is 9 and she rode it. you won’t fall out no matter the circumstances because of the way coaster restraints are made
I just came back from kings island. This was the highlight of my trip!( I went to great wolf lodge and kings island with the fam) this was the very last ride I rode. It’s they’re 50th anniversary, so they have a fireworks display for about 15mins every night this year before the park closes. So, they shut the Orion down for 15 mins and you have to wait about 45mins to an hour( I was already in line 45mins and as soon it was our turn to ride, they shut it down) for them to clean everything up and make sure the tracks are clear. So in all I waited about 2 hour just to ride! It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth the wait. Definitely try and ride it at night, you will not regret it. I promise it goes faster than 91 mph! I asked the young lady to let us sit in the back row and she granted my wish! ( The back is the absolute best place to ride/ the front second) Great ending of a great day, at kings island! This was my very first time to the park. This may be my new favorite. I gotta go back to cedar point and verify this lol
Hey there! Exact same thing happened to me - id been hesitant my entire time there then i made a snap decision + got in line before fireworks and had to wait haha But it was soooo worth it and YES at night it was so cool /w the lights! Great ending to the night!
The sheer power of this coaster completely caught me off guard. The exceleration at the bottom of especially the 1st hill was insane,really enjoyed it !!
The middle is best since when your going down hills you feal like your floating all the way down trust me Im right the first time I experienced this was on dimondback
Me and my friends went to kings island today and i can tell you this ride is amazing! The wait was maybe 20 minutes but some of the adults went in 5 minutes! We dont have fast passes either. This ride is so smooth and barely shakes compared to The Racer. Plus when you go up its pretty slow so you can enjoy the view! So so so fun!
this is my second giga coaster. my first one was Millennium Force. its hard to choose which I like better though. Millennium Force seems to have a more intense first drop but Orion has better air time hills....i guess both are awesome in their own way. hopefully Ill get to ride more gigas in my future!
@@xathira i live in Illinois but I been to both Cedar Point and Kings Island twice. my home park is Six Flags Great America. while we have no giga we at least have a really fun RMC (even though super short). we have a hyper as well but I think I rode it so many times it got "old" still fun but nothing extreme.
Our store took a team building trip to kings island last month. I grew up in Toledo, close to Cedar Point, so I hadn’t been to KI since I was a very little kid. I have to say, it was such a fun day. The rides were all so much fun and definitely exceeded my expectations having ridden so many cedar point coasters! Orion and the Diamondback were soooo much fun. I could’ve ridden them both o er and over again.
Got to ride Orion for the 1st time last week. Usually I am a little nervous about riding a coaster for the first time. But I was actually excited to try this one. Cannot complain about it. looking forward to riding again when I get back to KI.
I'm terrified of like all roller coasters, but I went here yesterday. We rode just about every single ride, and I had a blast. This one was for sure my most favorite next to the diamondback. The drop was so intense, but smooth and it was a lot of fun. After going here I regret not riding these types of rides when I was younger
I was the exact same way! I’ve always been too scared to ride roller coasters, but I went just the other day and ended up riding almost every coaster there. Now I want to go back!!!
I rode this yesterday for the first time. It is a couple steps up from Diamondback. I like the amount of twist and turns, it does maintain speed throughout, and doesn't really let up much. Every rollercoaster in this park is good and has something that the other doesn't.
Was scared of rollercoasters all my life until literally this day, august 14, 2022. I rode the tiny blue rollercoaster for kids and then I built up to the diamond back, Orion, then banshee. Those 3 rollercoasters literally cured my fear of rollercoasters. Highly recommend people to do at least one big rollercoaster before deciding they don’t like them or not
Man this was great, as I’m writing this I’m lined up to go again. For me, only the top part of the inicial drop was scary but the remainder of it feels great. If you’re scared to get on just do it. Don’t back out because you won’t regret it.
I just rode this for the first time yesterday and it did not disappoint! The first big drop had crazy airtime and the rest was just as good! Also i think this ride cured my fear of really tall rollercoasters lol. Next time I come im definitely riding it again!
Lots of great memories at King Island. Back in '97 I was 13yrs old living in Northern KY and my 8th grade class came here on a field trip. On that day an experience I'll never forget happened to me that night. It was the moment in my life I got my very first kiss on top of the Eiffel Tower. I was in love and She was an amazing blonde hair blue eyed girl and I still picture how beautiful she was with the lights of the park glimmering behind her. The following year I moved back to TN but we kept in touch throughout the years until she passed away of cancer in 2011. I'll forever hold her in my heart alongside kings Island where I got my first kiss by a beautiful Angel. Tha or the wonderful memorable experience Kings Island. RIP Heather I miss you and I'll never forget you
This coaster is simply amazing I’ve road it 3 times the lift hill is so smooth! And fast! This coaster is really fast and amazing if you are a thrill seeker like myself I’d say you ride this coaster! It’s fast it’s long! A 10/10 for me!
Ride Orion all season long with a Gold Season Pass! www.visitkingsisland.com/season-passes
Kings island make your stuff cheaper a 3 course meal is cheaper then a pizza here
This ride is my favorite ride in the park
Only thing is that it could be a tad bit longer there's room there at the end
Honestly, I can not find a single negative thing to say about this coaster. It's so amazing.
Yes! Just rode it today
Yes I’m riding it today!

Do I see a Noell main?
@@tynguyen7000 YES HIII :D
When I rode it it was lightly raining. I couldn't open my eyes because it felt like a million tiny needles were stabbing me.
This coaster has the best singular moment of airtime I've ever had. I do like that the restraint isnt fully snug
When is there airtime?
@@randomuser3938 right before the helix, and before the brake run
Not for me; those restraints hug my legs so tight they almost cut off the circulation to my feet. I do agree tho; I LOVE that moment of airtime right before the helix 😁😁😁

Have your ridden steal vengeance? The outer bank hill is crazy.
This is an absolute behemoth of a ride at night. The lights are absolute stunning as well. Kings Island seriously knows what theyre doing. I can’t wait for the next coaster
the old saying goes "don't judge a book by its cover" guess what happened?
well they did it... *literally*
Next time you're there get a night ride on diamondback. There's no lights at all. You can't see anything, you just feel it. If you can get one of the last rides with fireworks going off it's unreal. Best night ride I ever had.
I just rode this at night tonight for the first time, and it totally changes the ride. You can't see anything coming. A total banger
@james-jg4zr Diamondback is good, but mystic timbers, and the beast, is elite night riding imo.
the air time on this is absolutely insane, i felt like i was floating on most of the drops, it’s such a fun rollercoaster
That is the point of airtime, but on most coasters it’s probably not THAT intense.
I rode Orion yesterday, the airtime was pretty good.
Man, all b&m hypers are amazing 😍
💀
...its a giga but ye
I agree, I love hypers
@@shayconator Technically, gigas are still considered B&M hyper models so this comment is TECHNICALLY not wrong

Timber hawk roller coaster reaches 65mph and has a steep ass drop steeper than this imo just not as fucking high😭💀

the operation at KI are amazing. i've been to five theme parks this past summer and KI had the quickest lines for sure
This is the best ride in my opinion. The drop is so fun it feels like your floating.(not a bad way) You also just fly around with twists and curves!
Great floater airtime

I rode this bad boy 5 times today. I love it. I like how fast you climb to the top of the lift hill.
yeah my favorite ride at kings island is the beast but the one thing about it i dont love is the extremely lengthy climb up both drop hills
Couldn't ride it once. Thanks for making it up for chickens like me 😂
Just rode this last Saturday (before the rain hit) and this is now my favorite ride in the park. I kept thinking the drop would be the worst part of it but it ended up being my favorite part of it.
I honestly cannot find anything negative about it other than Orion leaving me wanting to ride it over and over again. Cannot wait to get back to KI later this summer to spend the day at Soak City and finish the day on Orion!
Rode it for the first time a few weeks ago. Wait was totally worth the thrill.
I screamed the entire time lol

I just rode this today. The drop looks super big but it’s not when ur on I love it was so much fun highly recommend!
Was scared of rollercoasters all my life until literally this day, august 14, 2022. I rode the tiny blue rollercoaster for kids and then I built up to the diamond back, Orion, then banshee. Those 3 rollercoasters literally cured my fear of rollercoasters. Highly recommend people to do at least one big rollercoaster before deciding they don’t like them or not
Man this was great, as I’m writing this I’m lined up to go again. For me, only the top part of the inicial drop was scary but the remainder of it feels great. If you’re scared to get on just do it. Don’t back out because you won’t regret it.
That Drop catches you off guard every time. It’s so intense. Such a great coaster.
It’s cool ig, it just feels like a bigger diamondback
I just rode this for the first time yesterday and it did not disappoint! The first big drop had crazy airtime and the rest was just as good! Also i think this ride cured my fear of really tall rollercoasters lol. Next time I come im definitely riding it again!
Rode this tonight at night with my ten year old. He really manned up. Great ride, fantastic night.
Lots of great memories at King Island. Back in '97 I was 13yrs old living in Northern KY and my 8th grade class came here on a field trip. On that day an experience I'll never forget happened to me that night. It was the moment in my life I got my very first kiss on top of the Eiffel Tower. I was in love and She was an amazing blonde hair blue eyed girl and I still picture how beautiful she was with the lights of the park glimmering behind her. The following year I moved back to TN but we kept in touch throughout the years until she passed away of cancer in 2011. I'll forever hold her in my heart alongside kings Island where I got my first kiss by a beautiful Angel.
Tha
or the wonderful memorable experience Kings Island.
RIP Heather I miss you and I'll never forget you
Very fun ride, the restraints are strong but it was fun to have my hands up down the big hill! 😂
Rode this memorial day 2023 yesterday. It's very scary but so smooth and fun at the same time.
I rode this coaster last week. Smooth, fun, fast ride.
The parade was awesome! As well with the tricks shoe

I really love this ride as I just recently back in June went to kings island
THIS IS A AWESOME RIDE!
I've only been to Cedar Point and Michigan's Adventure. I like both.
This ride looks really fun.
it is. trust me, my lash was tryna come off
I rode it for the first time today. My only regret is not waiting in line longer so I could sit in the front. Amazing coaster!
Ride is much smoother than the video makes it seem. Awesome ride
I rode it twice at the Big Bash last night. What an incredible coaster!!
I LOVE Orion I absolutely LOVE It.
Rode front row on this coaster today and it was insane. Front row is way better than any other seat on this coaster
Got on this yesterday, this was something else!
I’m going in a week. I am so excited!
I have returned to this comment to say I am going again in a week. Very exciting!
This coaster is simply amazing I’ve road it 3 times the lift hill is so smooth! And fast! This coaster is really fast and amazing if you are a thrill seeker like myself I’d say you ride this coaster! It’s fast it’s long! A 10/10 for me!
one of the best roller coasters ive been on!
I LOVED THIS RIDE WHEN I WENT
This is my all time favorite rollercoaster
